Why at a bad rate? Companies are compelled to do this in Australia (amongst others) due to our Kyoto targets, etc.

  Why at a bad rate? I feel like I am saving X watt hours & the purchaser does too. So they (the company) are trading in 2X watt hours "emotional credits" (the utility of this market) for 1x watt hour savings. Of course, that's an exaggeration. I lost my drive & ability to save those emissions by replacing my bulbs, but it's not 100% certain that I would have done so anyway. Companies are compelled to do this in Australia (amongst others) due to our Kyoto targets, etc. Are they? I don't think they are directly. The Government is probably subsidising this & other efforts but there is no compulsion to purchase carbon credits. They Get bought by bus companies, airlines, etc. They are basically also riding on public sentiment.
